Too bad the US didn't give advance warning to the civilian towns of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were too many terrorists using civilians as human shields in there, I guess. Or maybe you're just testing the latest weapons after you ran out of desert injuns to test them on? > What can be done about thugs who take over a city and > control it by violence - doing an occasional beheading?

Their thoughts exactly. The invaders should simply leave. > These are decisions that we on the sidelines don't have to > make. Thank goodness! You're merely funding the carnage with your tax dollars, and you voted for the war criminal who is doing this. > Just remember the difference - we kill civilians by > accident, they kill civilians deliberately. Just like the > difference between the Israelis and Hamas. Yep, "you" invaded Iraq by accident (after all, most Americans wouldn't find Iraq on a map), and if the USAF takes out whole Iraqi towns, it is the Iraqi resistance who is killing the civilians -- deliberately! You've definitely watched too many John Wayne flicks where the Injuns are always painted attacking innocent settlers who are defending THEIR land! It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
